According to San Jose City Councilman Sam Liccardo , when Mayor Chuck Reed and a local business delegation met with airline execs in Tokyo recently to try to lure All Nippon service to the South Bay, they were told they should first consider adding Silicon Valley to the airport's name. So, with Mineta's blessing, San Jose officials are weighing the idea - though they've put off a decision while they see how Norman Y.
Coming together: The next to last of five sections being assembled to form the tower for the Bay Bridge's new eastern span is scheduled to be hoisted into place today - all tons of it. When erected, it will push the tower from feet to feet and start to give the bridge the dramatic look that everyone has long anticipated.
When that happens, it will be feet, on par with the towers on the west side of the bridge. Catch our blog at www. That being said even if someone wants to argue that the population growth is insignificant enough to really balance it out we have to keep in mind that many people work harder to conserve water even without the help of their appliances built in water saving designs so simply blaming the newer ttoilets is ridiculous.
Maybe we should focus more on trying to find better ways to handle our sewage rather than saying we need to waste more water. Oh and I like the idea someone said about recycling waste water back through the system to compensate for the lower flow from users though not sure how that would work from an engineering standpoint as I am not knowledgable on that stuff.
And also I replaced both toilets in my house with newer low flow toilets after doing my homework. While not as powerful as my old 40 year ones they work pretty damn wall and make a nice powerful flush. If you do your homework you can find good lowflow toilets. Make sure they have large trapways. And ones with glazed traps improve things even more. They will suck. Check flush ratings and read reviews. Even go on Youtube and look at video reviews other gave. There are higher priced assisted flush toilets with built in motors within their tanks which really produce a powerful flush as well but they cost alot more.
I'm tired of hearing stupid conservatives complaining about liberals trying to make our planet a better place. These rightwingers feel they should be allowed to do only whats good for them and give up nothing even if it helps other people and the planet.
They want jet level power in their toilets and they want to drive large SUV's as their primary transportation even when they don't need to space. They throw the world Nazi around to describe liberals most of whom really are looking out for the best interest of the world.
Left wingers can't stand to see other people enjoying their lives, so they have to get big nanny state involved to make everybody else as miserable as they are. They hypocritically complain about how people who use high flow toilets or other things they don't like are destroying the planet while they consume products that destroy the planet such as living in houses made of wood or using a computer.
So left wingers need to spare everybody this crap that they support these regulations to save the planet. They also aren't smarter than everybody else nor do they know what's best for anybody else. This blog — This Just In — will no longer be updated.

Low-flow toilets cause stink in San Francisco The city of San Francisco's push for low-flow toilets is saving water - at a smelly price. But the cost is both monetary and olfactory.
The plan is drawing criticism from environmental advocates. March 3, at am Report abuse. March 4, at am Report abuse. So you literally need to go around the house and take inventory on how you use hot water. It's like building a budget for your household expenses. All Tank less Hot Water Heaters are rated and advertised by the amount of hot water they produce at a 35 rise. Let me explain that in a bit more detail. A tankless water heater available, which is rated at Many families who have been given the right information end up installing two tankless heaters to meet their needs.
With another frigid winter blanketing a large part of the United States hot water delivery becomes very important. I hope this helps you through the buying process should you be faced with the difficult decision of purchasing a new water heater. If you have a home or a business located in a backwoods, you will most likely require a septic tank to process any waste that is produced on the residential or commercial property.
Septic systems are used in locations that are too far from waste processing centers, and are self-contained waste processing systems that efficiently move liquid and waste from toilets, sinks, showers, and other drains.
